Celluloid Chronicles: A Historical Movie Podcast
Long-time besties, and history and film enthusiasts, Brick and Birdy bring you tantalizing facts and inaccuracy drama as they explore a new period film each episode. Listen in as they discuss, and sometimes rage, about the making of the film, the history the film is set against, and all other relevant, and maybe not so relevant, matters as they see fit. You could almost say, they’ll be in their period.
Celluloid Chronicles: A Historical Movie Podcast
Episode 3: The Favourite
Brick and Birdy saunter in again with a deep dive discussion of the 2018 movie The Favourite starring Olivia Coleman, Rachel Wiesz, and Emma Stone. They give some introductory context to the life of Queen Anne of Great Britain and crash right into the myth and art presented by the movie surrounding the most intriguingly steamy dynamics between Queen Anne, Sarah Churchill, and Abigail Hill. Prepare yourself for all the heartfelt enjoyment of the playful and sometimes "pearl clutching" drama of this early 18th century British court, and also the nuanced and dark edges behind these larger than life personalities.
